AUGUST 2002-

Hey, Just done some recent gigs , They were great ! Sorry its been so long.For those of you at Glastonbury this year it was great to see so many up for it people getting down. It was a great night , also apologies for being a bit knackered , it was Sunday night after all , and Ned had been up all 2 nights with 1 hour sleep in front of the pyramid stage. So there you are , but Saturdays impromptu gig at the casino bar was tighter, and there was also another one on the monday , but it wasnt really the egg , with all kinds of unexpected guests. Anyway no-one seemed to mind , especially the naked couple 'doing things' in front of the right speakers (now what would your mother say ?- unless that was her)

We did some experimentation with 2 bass players , one playing keyboard bass, one analog, anyway hope everyone liked the gig,what did YOU think ? , Well we kind of thought it worked . Well definetely have a bigger stage next time , hopefully , theres just no point in a low key gig , is there?

The gigs at the Tabernacle in London went great - you may not have noticed , but it was kind of experimental and underground - and we did it in secret ..join the mailing list , and youll find these things out..

.Shambala was ace too and all on video , well have to chop it up and that ll take ages, knowing us , but well try to stick it on a cd or something along with music.

Gigs at Canterbury, Bristol and Brighton were great ! -- thanks to everyone who came , and all those who made it happen , photos will appear soon.

This bit is old now - see below for December gigs :

probably something at london bridge may 29th ish (march 22 cancelled just incase you wanted to know- rumours got around that we were still on and we wouldnt want to dissapoint you lovely people out there.)

NEW RELEASES

The EP -'Mellowmania' has been out on a limited edition run at the festivals (changing world stall) and is all rather lovely and mellow, with tracks:

lost at sea, venice beach, 111 beams per minute, quickstep & rich garden

if you want funk , then apart from quickstep , it may not be you cup of tea ,but for the melloness of super relaxation , its the ticket...Most of the tracks are on other compilation albums : you can now buy mellowmania from dolphindiscs.com

(actually theyve sold out temporarily, try again soon)

Lost at sea is out now on 'comfort zone 5' - but its out in Germany , Austria & Switzerland -good luck if you can get an import...It will be available on 'Backroom Beats2' out soon on Twisted records/ Backroom beats recordings.

Venice beach came out on April 22nd on Ministry of Sound 'chill out ibiza 2002' compilation album

Rich Garden on 'Still Life' comp - out on Universal v.soon and also Rich Garden on Freestlye(flying Rhino) comp called 'SOFA' -should be out by now , but were not sure !!

July 29th saw Venice Beach on new Big Chill Summer Compilation , and this time its full length , unlike the ministry of sound chill out 2002 album ,which had to cut it down to fit it on with 40 other tracks ! Maybe http://www.bigchill.net has some info

Also there will be more gigs soon , including Canterbury & Bristol (see above)

oh and look out for maff and Ned in the new LAMB video ('sweet')

March 03

Hi, sorry for the delay, its been a bit tricky uploading recently, but now its ok

Thanks to everyone who came to the recent spat of gigs . well do some more soon. and shambala fest looks likely this year , as does a 'sundaze ' organized do in sheffield on 19th july- with Hexstatic etc...

were working on a new album , and have just done a cd rom , with videos of gigs etc , Its not properly released as yet , but maybe we can do something for you special people...

Everyone said we hadnt updated the site for ages which is ,, er ,, true , so we added a bit to the slide show ,,,, you can play tunes below while letting it flick through....oh the joy of it all....

we promise to add groovy new movies n stuff, were so busy its difficult to find the time , what with recording ! ( and we all want a bit of that dont we ?. ...... yes... well we do)

new stuff is sounding ace , some funky as ever , played at the recent gigs, some supermellow, such is the double sided sticky back plastic way we end up doing things...well there you are

and this page is such a mess ! maybe well put gig listing elsewhere , but then again...........we may not get our tea

APRIL 03

OK we did some stuff to the site and put up a few movies from live gigs (theyre all live arent they?) but theyre rather large so youll need broadband (at least 500k modems) unless you want to make yourself a large cup of tea for 5- 10 mins, and some of what we project behind us... Weve been getting into live video triggering , using video and cartoon animations projected . Very exiting, no honestly , really it is.

AND Were seriously planning a 12' release for the end of june/ early july , but at first on 12' only, we may add cd versions in August, and planning a new album for september/ october!!

oh YES TRIPLANE has been an act by maff from the egg (drums), toby pascoe from breakbeat era, and chris powell , its done 3 12"s on jelly records, microbe(france) and angel's egg(japan) and recently had 'something to get exited about' out on' future jazz 9' comp or something. on compost records , who are ace. its got a 3d cover aswell

 


Cheers for now
